Re: Reopening NSW branch lines

["John Wayman" <trecker@bigpond.com>]

The Ski Tube would have to be the busiest NSW railway line outside the
Newcastle -Sydney - Woollongong corridor.

It has a 10 minute frequency during ski season, and a 1 hour service during
the off season! But it does close down for about 4 weeks each year for
maintenance.

This an electric multiple unit rack railway in a long tunnel!

Can anyone tell me how many carriages operate this service?

Cheers
John Wayman
